In two weeks time, I’ll be on a plane with nine of my fellow students and friends on our way abroad. (Definitely will be talking more about this incredible trip once I’m back stateside.) BUT, for now, I’m knee-deep in that final push to the end of another semester. I can’t believe I only have three more days of classes and five finals before I am DONE with my freshman year of college. Wow. How time flies. As much as it feels like so much has happened and so much has changed, I also feel like I just moved in yesterday. So since I’m not ready to move out and to be a sophomore, here’s some photos from the year. (These start back where I left off last fall and go all the way up to now.)
Cheesin’ with one of the future roommates
Every residence building has its own unique event. For ours, we have a building theme within which each hall decorates and acts out a story line. This year, the building theme was Pixar and my hall did UP!
Sadly, I had class the night of the event, so I had to settle with helping decorate and taking a photo by one of our decorated walls.
My hall went ice skating because you have to blow off homework and have some fun occasionally
It snowed at the beginning of the spring semester, and my Texan heart was very happy
Snow covered campus
Mystery dates! (Every hall on campus usually does mystery dates at some point. The RA plans a theme/task, roommates pick each other’s dates, and it usually is a competition between “couples.”)
Grandparents came to visit me all the way from Texas!
The prettiest hot chocolate I ever did see.
Mama bear came to visit which means lots of good food and hitting up all the coffee shops
Shout out to Elizabeth Joy for the fantastic photos of me frolicking in the snow.

Precious girl! It makes me so happy to see how happy you look in these pictures! I’m glad your first year of college is full of memories- the good and the bad ❤
